To all -whm it may concern/.

Be it known that I, ROBERT Y. BRADSHAW, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and a resident of Chicago, in the County of Cook and Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements inReceptacles, of which the fo lowing is a specification.

This invefition relates to receptacles or packages for holding chemicalsand other materials, and is particularly adapted for convenientlyholding in the same package two different substances Which. are to bemiXed before use but which tend to deteriorate if kept for a long timein the miXed condition.

The main object of my invention is to provide a package of simple,compact, and durable construction which isparticularly a'dapted forcontaining and keeping separated bronZe-powder and its liqud-vehicle andwhich also forms a convenient receptacle within which the powder andliquid-vehicle may be miXed and kept after mixing. I accomplish thisobject by the device shown in the accompanying drawing, which representsa sheet-metal can constructed accord- "ing to my invention.

'The device shown in the drawing consists of a rece tacle having acylindrical Sheetmetal bo y part 1, a cover 2, and an inner cu orreceptacle 3. The body part 1 is rovi ed with heads 4 and 5 at its ends,t ese 'heads being crimped to the side walls to form an air-tight joint.The upper head or top of the body of the can is 'provided with a centralCircular opening and is bent, as shown,

'to form a screw-threaded part 6 at the upper V end of the body and anannular flange 7, 'eX- tending 'inwardly and downwardly around theopening in said head. The cu 3 has its body part formed slightly conica,so as to wedge tightly against the inner part of the flange 7 when thecap is forced into the opening in the receptacle to the position shownin the drawing. The conical formation of `the cup 3 is exaggerated inthe drawing for the purpose of ilustration. The cup 3 is pro- `videdWith an aimular flange 8, eXtending outwardly at the rim of the'cup andcurled under itself :to form a smooth edge to the The cup 3 is closed bya cap or cover flang. 2, w "ch has a threaded part 10 adapted to beSecured upon the threaded art 6 of the can for securing said cover ancap against accidental dislodgment.

'l Tight closure between the flange 8 of the aper. The head 5 of the canhas an annuar depression between the central opening and the part 6 tomore nearly conform with the under surface of the flange 8 and provide aseat for the gasket 11. The Corner 12 on the head 5 forms a convenientfulcrum for a knjfe-blade or other tool which is used for rying the cup3 out of engagement with the ange 7.

When a receptacle of this form is used as a package for bronZe-paint,the liquid-vehcle is first poured into the main 'receptacle which isthen closed by seating the cup 3 into the powder is then laced into thecup 3, and the closure is comp eted by Screwing the cover 2 home uponthe threaded' part 6. When the paint is to be used, the cover 2 isunscrewed, the cup 3 is pried out of the head, and the powder is thenpoured from the cup into the' ody part of the receptacle and -1s therenmiXed by stirring.

It will be understood that numerous details of the construction shownmay be altered without departing from the Spirit of my mvention.

to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A receptacle comprising a body open at the top and having a threadedpart at its upwardly-extending 'flange with its inner edge a cup fittingWithin said wedging-surface and being outwardly flanged at its upperedge, a threaded cover .fitting the threaded part of the body andbearing upon the flange of Said cup to form a closure for the cup andhold the cup firmlywithin said wedging-surface.
